Pert Lomb's family spent the last few weeks in the children's hospital. They watched as their 12-year-old daughter Elisabeth fought for her life.
Elisabeth fell from an electric scooter borrowed from a friend. She was riding nearly 55 kilometers per hour and wasn't wearing a helmet. She was in a coma for several days.
Father Pert Lomp said they didn't know if Elisabeth would survive or what condition she would be in. Now Elisabeth is recovering.
Elisabeth took her first steps and the tubes were removed. Only one ear doesn't hear well, but hopefully it will improve.
More than a hundred parents wrote to Pert, saying they would no longer buy fast scooters. They saw videos on the internet where children were riding too fast.
The police say minors are riding too fast on prohibited scooters. The police are conducting checks around schools and finding prohibited vehicles every time.
Currently, the police can temporarily confiscate scooters and fine parents with monetary penalties. The police now want court permission to completely confiscate scooters.
Elisabeth's father advises all parents not to buy fast scooters for their children. He says there are other things to do with children, like going to the movies or theater, but not buying dangerous vehicles.
